always to be sharp to know which

"Sharp isn't the word, Poll. It's not
a question OF fortune. I don't know
whether I'd prefer to be Mrs. Jones, the
wife of the iewc.er, or Mrs. johnson, the

Music in Mexico.

The true Ilexican, writes Fanaie Il.
Warde, loves music better than his din
ner, and the poorest and most ignorant
OF these people are natural musicians.
They are fond Of asserting not without
truth-that music is but harmony IN the
north, while here is the melody. Every
body plays upon some scrs Of
instrument, and in social life nobody
ever refuses to sing. If | were
asked the name Of the Mexican
national song should reply; Not ono
Of the soul-stiring patriotic anthems, nor
the pathetic LA Golondrina," the
Home, Sweet Homop Of Mexico, but
I'll Trovatore.' The words are upon
every tongue, as commonly as was Lily
Dale" and 'MoIiio Darling" in the
United States a few years ago. n
shout it, old women Groom it, girls
bic it, boys whistle tin short, it's
better known throu hout the cou
than tho alphabet for no Indian jaca 4
without some knowledge Of it. Besides
singing it, the ladies play it On guitars
and maudolins, harps and pianos; tho
men strum it and toot it on every brass,
silver and string instrument known and
unknown in the north
Most Of the musical Instruments in
Mexico are imported from France or
Spain. There are few pianos except
among the wealthy Of the large cities;
organs are generally confined to the
churches and me.ode3ns are almost un.
known. The most common Instruments
are harps, guitars snd mandoins AMONG
the ladies; soft-toned saxaphoness sax
ats, etc, for sentimental sercnaders and
reed instruments for tho Indians. Tho
humblest piado has one, probably Of his
own manufacture, in shape and design
precisely like that with which the Greek
god Pan is pictured. Another instru-
ment much in use among the poorer
classes is cat-gut strung bow about six
feet long. The performer places his
mouth over the middle Of the bow,
purses OUT his lips ana twangs the string
with his forefnger, about as one does
a jewsharp. l cannot speak very highly
OF the result, though IT produces har-
monious succession Of sounds, which
serves well as an accompaniment for
some Of the scnselces folk songs.

A Thousand Years from Now,


Behold the wonders of the world,
Wherever you may be,
The palaces upon the land,
The ships upon the sea;
Go count the triumphs of mankind
And crown arts marble brow,
Yet wonder what this world will be
A tho1sand years from nowl
The temples great Of Babylon
Where are they to-dayg
And where is hundred-gated Thebe.
All these have passed awayl
The mighty walls of queenly Tyre
In pride no longer stand;
What is renowne Palmyra's sitel
A heap Of desert sand
The palaces that Cyrus built
No longer are sublime;
Old Carthage crumblei long ago
Beneath the hand of time;
And with her pas ed forever more
Into oblivioa's peace
The glories of her rival, Rome,
The marble marts of Greece.
How insignificant is mani
In fame bow strong his trustl
What are the Ftolemies to-dayl
a pinch of mummy dust!
And where is Macedoaia's boy
Who from his gilded throne
Saw all the nations at his feet?
His very graves unlnownl
Tribes, nations, Kingdoms disappear,
Nor leave trace behind;
The dust of monarchs long forgot
Is scattered by the wind.
Where is the prophet who can say
Upon what regal brow
The English diadem will rest
A thousand years from now9
VIII Venice sit upon the sea
In splendor, as to-day2
Will naughty Paris rule the world
OF fashion, proudly gay!
Say, will the mosque of Omar rise q
Above the orient deepa d.
VIII London be mighty mart,
And not ruin heap! 50
What capitals will crown the plain
What Empress new will rise9
What peoples, now in darkness held,
VIII flourish meath the skiesG
All, will the banner of the stars
Crown Freedoms radiant brow,
And float above her capital
A thousand years from nova
VIII all the nations be at peace,
IL nations then exist?
Will not a crimson battle plume
Be by the sunshine kiss'd}
And will the glowing firmament
Know not a boneful stare
And not fragile flower bleed
Beneath the feet Of ware
Who knows3 We cannot look beyo
The bound ries where we stand;
He hold the many nations in
The hollow Of His hand
He drives the chariot Of Time
Across this flying clod
The past is dead, today is ours.
The future is with, Godl

MAEKATO, Kan, April 19.-CCorres-
pOndence. The election to vote bonds
to the c. K. & N. railroad in Jewell
county, resulted in favor of the bonds.
all townships voting solid for them.
Only one township was lost, viz: Mon
Uana, and the amount asked OF it, $40,
600 was subscribed in Mankato by her
business men, fully three weeks ago, as
it was a foregone conclusion that the
bonds could not be carried in that town
ship.
The result of this election makes n
complete line Of bonds voted from Dish
Ter, Nebraska, six miles west Of He
bron, via Hardy, via AIankaUo to SInt tn
Centre, Kansas. The Chicago. Kan
sas & Northwestern agree 70 begin
work all along the line by May 1st.,

The bond election for the c. K. &

shifted in q complete victory for the
supporters Of the proposition. AT
PhiIliDsburg the election was q tame
affair. everybody in town stood square
for the bonds and there was little or
no opposition among the farmers OF
this precinct. While it was generally
believed the bonds would carry in near
lY all the townships, yet it was known
lively opposition, backed up by out
siders, were working like beavers to de-
feat the project However, the bonds
carried. and if the road is built, all will
be benefited thereby. Those who voted
against the bonds will have the saus-
faction Of knowing they will derive the
same benefits from the road as their
neighbors who voted for the bonds.
The road once in operation none would
vote to take it away.
Following is the vote as reported
from the various townships:
